do adverts have higher contrast than tv programes?

not just volume differences

Many adverts are shot in HD these days... Can be better quality (technically) than the programmes

whilst on with this anyone else noticed the itv hd picture being a little jerky on panning shots when it changes direction

Not noticed any blurring on ITV HD. BBC HD due to, lets face it, low bit rate effect (Clues in the name HD!, keep the information please, please!)Think ITV's 'scaled' standard def stuff is excellent. Channel 5's is too. Get to watch 'Thomas the Tank Engine' in psuedo HD with the little one.

As for adverts im guessing they may be slightly brighter too, 'Showroom effect' trying to get you're attention.
